Chapter 9
"Spare your life, spare your life. If a strong man wants money, just take it. I just want to spare the lives of my family. I can't thank you enough, I can't thank you enough!"
Beside a forest outside Mayi City, a well-dressed old man knelt on the ground, kowtowing to a strong man in fear.
"Run, keep running, why are you begging for mercy?" The strong man stepped on the old man's head lying on the ground and said in a vicious voice.
"I don't dare... I don't dare anymore, brave man, spare your life... spare your life... I was a little old man who was ignorant before. Here, I will apologize to you..."
The old man's face was on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy. A dozen servants nearby were restrained by the thieves. There were two women in the car, an old man and a young man, hugging each other and shivering.
The strong man looked at the carriage and smiled lewdly, "If the young lady in the carriage can serve me comfortably, I may be able to spare your life if I am happy."
With that said, he kicked the old man and left him to watch, then walked towards the carriage.
"Strong man, this little girl is only eleven and is still a child. Please let her go..."
The old man rushed to pull the strong man away, but was held tightly by a little thief.
The little thief laughed and said, "November is the best day, just like a flower in bud..."
"Strong man, please spare her, please let her go..."
"Don't touch my daughter, don't-"
The woman in the carriage was thrown out of the carriage by the strong man and dragged away by a gangster.
"Let go! Let me go, daddy, save me..." The girl cried in horror.
At this moment, a sharp arrow roared from the forest. The old man's desperate plea, the girl's pitiful cry, and the thief's wanton lewd laughter all came to an abrupt end at the sound of arrows.
On the carriage, the strong man covered his throat, turned his head in disbelief, and fell out of the carriage.
The old man raised his head and saw two masked men riding horses out of the forest. The leading man held a long halberd as if it were a swimming dragon, slashing and prodding, bringing up clusters of red blood flowers among the thieves.
He was dazzled, and in an instant, a dozen thieves died in his hands.
"Who is coming?" a thief asked.
However, Lu Bu ignored him and just continued to kill people. When the thieves saw that there were only two of them, they wanted to surround him and kill him. But when they saw about twenty of their companions died at Lu Bu's hands, they were frightened and fled in all directions.
Lu Bu did not pursue him, he put away his halberd and came to the old man.
The old man recovered from the shock, cried with joy, and bowed his hands to Lu Bu repeatedly, "Thank you brave man, thank you brave man for saving my life. I can't thank you enough! I can't thank you enough!"
Lu Bu looked at him condescendingly and said calmly, "There is no need to say any words of gratitude. Just give me something as a reward."
The expression on the old man's face froze and he hurriedly said, "This is what it should be, it should be."
He said and asked someone to get the money.
Lu Bu said, "I don't want money, I just want food and fine salt."
Wei Xu clapped his fingers at the side and added, "I also need clay pots, pots, utensils for cooking, bowls and chopsticks, quilts, tents for two beds, towels for washing, and wooden basins. The urinals and toilets are not needed. There are also
…”
"Okay!" Lu Bu interrupted him, a little speechless. If he wanted to go down, he might as well just build a house.
Beside them, the old man's face could already be described as colorful. Apart from not wanting women and money, these two warriors were almost the same as thieves.
However, my family's lives were saved anyway, so it's appropriate to give me something as a thank you.
The two of them returned to the woods carrying large and small bags. Wei Xu said happily, "Brother-in-law, we will do this in the future. We can be chivalrous and make money. If any young lady likes it, we might be able to do it."
I can earn a living as a bed warmer.”
Thinking of his late wife who was pregnant with Liujia, Lu Bu said wistfully, "There is no need to warm the bed, just have enough food and clothing!"
Since then, the two desperadoes finally found a relatively reliable livelihood.
…………
In Yangzhai, Xu Fu is also leading a group of heroes to perform chivalrous acts of justice.
Three gangsters were blocked in an alley by seven heroes, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to let go.
"Brother Afu, who are these elder brothers?"
Zhang Mo looked at the people in front of him. They were all wearing ordinary short brown clothes, and most of them were patched. But all of them had weapons in their hands, such as knives, spears, sticks, and axes. One of them also had a bow on his back.
This is clearly the ancient version of Young and Dangerous. She still knows a thing or two about this organization. They can call each other brothers if they are like-minded, and they can draw swords against each other even if they disagree.
Xu Fu pointed at everyone and introduced them one by one. The burliest black-faced man was called Ma Du, who was the leader of this group of heroes. The young and handsome man was called Du Scimitar, the one with yellow skin was called Sun Huangpi, and the short one was called Xiaodiao.
The two are brothers, named Niu Da and Niu Er respectively.
With the support of these gangster brothers, Zhang Mo suddenly felt confident. Who else would dare to bully her in Yangdi in the future.
Xu Fu kicked the sturdy man to the ground, and Sun Huangpi pressed his arms on the left and right, and said to Zhang Mo, "Come, how he bullied you in the past, today he will pay you back double, don't be afraid."
Zhang Mo limped forward, stepped on the man's hand, and crushed it with all his strength. There was no blood on his hand, and he didn't even frown.
Zhang Mo was so angry that he knelt down and slapped him again, so hard that his hands hurt, but there wasn't even a mark on his rough and thick face.
She shook her tired arm and looked at Xu Fu with a look of helplessness on her face. Her hands were powerless. She was helpless even when they asked her to hit him.
Xu Fu smiled fondly, pulled her away, and stomped on her. After hearing a few clicks, the ruffian who was still secretly rejoicing started howling like a pig.
"Oh my god, please spare my life, my dear, I will never dare to do it again, I will never dare to do it again..."
The eldest brother, Damadu, came over and said coldly, "Begging for mercy? When she begs for mercy, are you going to be soft-hearted? Bullying a little lady is nothing. I will eliminate harm for the people today."
As he said that, he brought down the ax cleanly, and the head of the thick ruffian was directly broken open, and the brains flowed to the floor.
"This, this, this..."
Zhang Mo was stunned by his sudden attack, "How...how did you kill him?"
She just wanted to teach these people a lesson!
Xu Fu hurriedly covered her eyes and reassured her, "Don't look, don't be afraid, it's okay! If he doesn't silence him, he will definitely not give up afterward. Either he doesn't do it, or he won't leave hidden dangers if he does it, and I want to clean up these things."
You're such a loser, let's just do it all at once this time."
Zhang Mo opened his hand. She was not afraid of killing, but she was afraid that if someone found out, she would have to pay for it with her life.
Jianzui and Mazi saw the dead man, and realized that begging for mercy was useless, so they resisted with all their strength, but Niu was unaware and Mazi broke free from the restraints.
"Du Scimitar, deal with it quickly!" Madu ordered.
Du Scimitar chased after him quickly, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and swung it up, hitting Mazi in the back of the heart. Mazi screamed and fell to the ground.
Du Scimitar stepped forward, withdrew the scimitar and wiped his neck. The pockmarked man was like a blood-letting duck, slithering on the ground for a few times and then stopped moving.
They had all been killed, and there was no use worrying anymore. Zhang Mo looked at the corpses and asked, "How to deal with them?"
Ma Du wiped the blood on the ax with his thick clothes and said, "Don't worry about it, just throw it here and someone will pick it up tomorrow. The county magistrate is just a lazy fool. He won't bother to investigate without conclusive evidence. Don't worry.
"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Mo with some surprise, "Aren't you afraid, little lady?"
These were bloody corpses. He remembered that after killing someone for the first time, his hands and feet were trembling. But except for the little lady who was surprised at the beginning, she was calm throughout the whole process.
Zhang Mo said, "What's so scary about the dead? It's the living who are scary!"
When she first came here, she almost died at the hands of living people twice.
Ma Du thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense!"
After killing everyone, everyone dispersed and went home as if nothing was wrong.
…
The next morning, Yangzhai County Government Office.
The three corpses were carried to the lobby by the government officials.
A woman knelt down and cried so hard, "I beg you to make the decision for the women of the country. My husband has always followed the rules, but last night he was killed by the gangsters for no reason. I beg you to avenge him..."
"Please let me make the decision!"
The family members of several other people also kowtowed.
Do you want to follow the rules? The county magistrate twitched the corner of his mouth and said in an official tone, "I will investigate this matter strictly. Just go back and wait with peace of mind."
There were only a few gangsters who died, and no one saw the murderer at the scene. How to investigate? With this free time, he might as well spend more time at home with Xin Na's little beauty.
Seeing that the county magistrate was passing the buck, a government official stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates may know who the murderer is."
The county magistrate raised his mustache and said lazily, "Who is it?"
The yamen servant said, "Recently, a young storyteller came to Ruyi Building. Because the stories he told were novel, he made a lot of money every day. Three days ago, the young gentleman found several of his subordinates and said that he was blackmailed by three deceased people. Please ask me
Waiting for help to arrest the person, but we went to the alley to arrest the person as he said, but we did not see the gangster. Due to busy work these two days, we forgot about the arrest, or the young gentleman was unwilling to be blackmailed and hired the gangster himself.
kill."
"I have heard about that young gentleman, but how can a helpless boy hire a murderer within two days? This is impossible." Although the county magistrate is lazy, he is not stupid.
The yamen officer continued, "The commander is unaware of something. The young gentleman is renting at Xu's house in the west of the city. Xu Fu, the boy from the Xu family, has a knight-errant style on weekdays and has practiced kung fu for two or three times. The subordinates speculated that he might be aggrieved by the young gentleman.
, kill these three people.”
"It's not impossible..." the county magistrate said, twirling his chin beard.
Seeing that the county magistrate recognized him, the officer's face lit up with joy and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to your subordinates, and we will definitely get to the bottom of it for you."
